Jerramy Stevens, the former NFL player married to U.S. soccer goaltender Hope Solo, has cleared his latest legal hurdle.

Tampa Circuit Court Judge Daniel Perry dismissed Wednesday the affidavit of probation violation against Stevens, 33. He was arrested last month in Kirkland, Wash., but after investigating whether or not he assaulted Solo, he was released. The couple married the next day.

However, Florida prosecutors said Stevens had violated his probation regarding a previous marijuana-related charge. He was arrested and jailed before a judge ordered him released.

"Mr. Stevens is satisfied that the proper decision was made today but he is angry that the wrong decision was made to arrest him to begin with,'' attorney Mark J. O'Brien said in an email to USA TODAY Sports.

Stevens, a former first-round draft selection, played nine seasons in the NFL before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released him in 2010 following the drug arrest.
